Maybe they were salvaged from some ruins, vault, or buried warehouse? Or maybe they tend to re-use crates rather than build new ones from scratch? I get the impression that, especially in the Wastes, folks salvage and recycle whatever they can and the philosophy of waste not/want not is the rule.

I've just read all of your 894 pages of comics! I've really enjoyed the story so far. Keep up the great work! Also I love your tech section. The universe you created, kind of reminds me of Appleseed. :)

Heh, ya I saw that you went into a lot of details. Though its in those details about how the line between Android and human eventually blurs that really attracts viewers like myself. It reminds me of the theme in Ghost in the shell: man machine interface.

I think its a great theme worth exploring , as it invokes philosophical questions like what makes us human, and if our deepest thoughts and emotions are store with electrons instead of chemical, would we still be consider "human"? It seems what you have created Dolly to be is a great platform to explore that question.

I do enjoy your arks, but just be careful of being too distracting to the main story line... We do want our main resuer Dolly to get there before the backups do!

Except in this case it's more complicated. She's equipped with some hardware that causes her pain, designed and installed by another AI. Moreover, she is a fragment of said AI, so that makes her pain self-inflicted then.
